Camera model
PCLINE P03GWKT09 / 093a:262a Pixart Imaging, Inc.
What is the problem?
The camera works fine plugged directly into my Manjaro laptop and opens in VLC. Plugged into my RPi Zero 2 however, it is detected but doesn't work.
ipadress/webcam/?action=stream and ipadress/webcam/?action=snapshot both give the webpage starting "The webcam server is currently not running".
What did you already try to solve it?
Changed various options in octopi.txt camera_usb_options. The camera doesn't support -f and fails with and without -y. I have tried -r VGA and -r 640x480 (this is the cameras only resolution).

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)
Freshly installed stable version using the Raspberry Pi Imager tool yesterday, OctoPrint 1.7.2, Python 3.7.3, OctoPi 0.18.0
I have also ran sudo apt-get update --fix-missing and sudo apt-get upgrade, rebooted and no change.
My experience with Linux in general is not great so please go easy on me.
